Doing things on the go seems to be all the rage now, with the proliferation of iphones and blackberrys and all the hi-tech shenanigans that allow people to go online on their phones. It irks me when some people use this technology to post some really inane comments on facebook about them waiting for someone somewhere for how long. Seriously, how does that add any value to the online community in any way? In fact, I don’t even think it adds much value to the person himself/herself, apart from perhaps alleviating a few seconds of boredom. Having said that, I do see the plus points of being about to blog on the go, or post pictures on the go. Not only is it a way to use time efficiently (so that waiting time =/= wasting time hurhur), it’s also a fantastic way to capture those fleeting thoughts that are gone from my head by the time I get to a computer. I think of the many times I wished I could whip out a cool gadget and send my cool thoughts phrased in a cool way to cyberspace. Alas, I am still in the dinosaur age of keypad phones. While people are busy using touch screen functions and logging onto the net on the go, and playing with their wonderful wii at home, I, on the other hand, barely even touch my obsolete Ericsson k800i keypad phone, and relish in plopping myself on the bed and watching a dinosaur TV at home. How to be a cool person like that, you tell me? The time to upgrade just never seems to materialize. It’s exactly like wanting to buy higher end cosmetics or skincare products when I have more money. The unfortunate thing is that I never seem to have more money, even after I started working! I have this niggling feeling I’m going to be stuck on the same rung for quite a while. I think I would much prefer to hang on to my money and safeguard it under my pillow (or to be more updated, in the bank) than to spend it on cool things to be part of the hip and happening crowd. If I’d never belonged to that crowd, what makes me think I’m going to start now? Doh.
